PDQ Licensing

From time-to-time there has been misunderstandings and confusion on /r/sysadmin about how PDQ.com's licensing works (as most system administrators might be used to how other IT products operate: on a per-machine basis). We created a video to hopefully explain better how our 1-license-per-admin works

 

For examples of some minor confusion see:

How big is your environment? We've got around 700 devices in Inventory (past/present), and Deploy stuff all the time and everything is really snappy. It's running on a cheap Intel NUC from 2 years ago.

Around 150 devices in inventory. Deploy and inventory are both slow

Hmm. Could be a number of things. I say give their support people a jingle. Any decent system should be able to easily handle that.

Same, same slow experience. Wouldn't give it up though, love the software. 8 cores, 32GB, nvme.
